***************************************************************
ADDITIONAL INFO:
1. Trivias
- The doomsday theory has sprung from a Western idea, not a Mayan. Mayans insist that the world will not end in 2012. The Mayans had a talent for astronomy, and enthusiasts have found a series of astronomical alignments they say coincide in 2012, including one that happens roughly only once every 25,800 years. Once every 25,800 years, the sun lines up with the center of our Milky Way galaxy on a winter solstice, the sun's lowest point in the horizon. The next time that will happen is on December 21, 2012; which happens to be the same day the Mayan calender expires. In addition to the Mayan calendar, the modern doomsday myth is bolstered several ostensibly scientific reasons for a disaster. Examples include a pole shift, the "return" of Planet X or the Sun's sinister counterpart Nemesis, a galactic, planetary, or other celestial alignment, global warming, global cooling, a massive solar flare, a new ice age, and so on. None of these have any basis in respected science. For example, the "galactic alignment" between the sun, Earth, and galactic center happens every December. The best alignment was reached in the 1990s and was accompanied by its own set of doomsday theories. Alignments since then have been increasingly poor.
- The President's first and last names are the same as the 28th President in real life. Woodrow Wilson's first name is actually Thomas.
- Some cinemas are showing the film at 20:12 (12 minutes past 8), in keeping with the title of the film.
- Wisconsin is mentioned three times in the film. Executive Producer Michael Wimer (Roland Emmerich's friend and business partner) is from Neenah, Wisconsin.
- Jackson's son is named Noah. This is an obvious reference to the biblical story of Noah's ark and foreshadows the use of "Arks" to save humanity from the impending disaster.
2. Goofs
- When Jackson shows his driver's license in Yellowstone Park, his name appears on the card as "Jackson, Curtis." It should be either "Curtis, Jackson" (Last name, First name) or be written without the comma.
- When the arks have launched, the camera pans across them and it is obvious that one is missing, the door that it should appear from shows "5", however it is Ark 3 that did not launch.
- The White House Chief of Staff would normally never in a position to succeed the office of the President of the United States. There is always a designated survivor amongst the line of succession to maintain continuity of government. However, it is stated that the Vice President is already dead and the House Speaker is missing. Considering the amount of confusion, it is possible that no other cabinet members were able to board Air Force One before it left Washington. If there were, he would not have appointed himself Acting President.
- The Yellowstone eruption's pyroclastic cloud would have overtaken Jackson Curtis well before arrived at the airfield even if it had slowed somewhat due to friction with the terrain (seeing how fast it was moving when the aircraft took off.)
- The enormous fireball erupting from Yellowstone would have incinerated Charlie Frost and Jackson Curtis within seconds, because the intense heat radiates far beyond the actual fireball (think of the heat you feel even a dozen feet from a bonfire.) The same fireball probably would have seriously burnt the airplane and its waiting passengers.
3. Memorable Quote
- Jackson Curtis: When they tell you not to panic... that's when you run!
